<p>1x1 ribbing, braided. It&#8217;s that simple. But at this gauge it&#8217;s more of a sculpture than a piece of fabric.</p>
<p>The color is somewhere between pink and oatmeal. I love it.</p>Mon, 07 Nov 2016 14:35:31 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/sweedish-coffee-bread/indexBeckyinVTa flurry of mittenshttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/a-flurry-of-mittens

Lots! At least 4, maybe 6. Maybe I&#8217;ll get crazy and knit an odd number. Who knows?</p>
<p>The idea is for Windsor to have lots of interchangeable mittens at school so she always has something dry for her hands.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m planning on lanolinizing them too.</p></div>Mon, 21 Nov 2016 14:12:56 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/a-flurry-of-mittens/indexBeckyinVTgradient ear flapshttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/garter-ear-flap-hat

I&#8217;ll pick up stitches to work the ear-flaps from there!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m using up leftovers from the dress so colorways are Dove and Black Daylily.</p></div>Wed, 19 Oct 2016 17:23:37 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/garter-ear-flap-hat/indexBeckyinVTAutumnal walkhttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/morning-walk-2

<p>So yeah, knitting these little slippers at a different gauge. With a yarn carried double for just the soles. With stockinette body and garter sole. And decreases at the start of the toes. And the toe has a garter sole too. And crochet around the cuff to stablize the edge.</p>
<p>But you know, no thinking at all. (HA!) Now if I can make the second to match the first&#8230;</p></div>Fri, 07 Oct 2016 01:37:25 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/updated-parkspin-slippers/indexBeckyinVTtime for new washclothshttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/sinkmates
<p>I don&#8217;t love knitting washcloths. But I do love having them around. Oh the dilemma. I&#8217;m making small ones because I&#8217;m lazy and I don&#8217;t love knitting with cotton. But at least the colors are fun!</p>Tue, 23 Aug 2016 12:40:38 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/sinkmates/indexBeckyinVTcamping cup holderhttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/camping-cup-holder

I got one of those awesome zero-gravity chairs for camping, but it has no cup holder! Shock!</p>
<p>I knit a square bottom (because I&#8217;m lazy), a purl round for the corner, then knit &#8216;till the sides were about mason jar height. Worked i-cord bind off half way around, knit a length of free i-cord, then attached it at the other end and finished the other half with more i-cord bind off.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t even bother to weave in the one end, just put it straight into use.</p></div>Tue, 23 Aug 2016 12:38:31 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/camping-cup-holder/indexBeckyinVTThe SDhttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/essex-junction

Light pink and dark red? Silvery gray and navy blue? With Anzula the options are endless!</p>
<p>I loved getting a chance to work with this new yarn before it was even released! It&#8217;s bouncy and springy which are two qualities I love in a MCN yarn. And of course the colors offered by Anzula make it really hard to choose!!</p></div>Tue, 21 Jun 2016 15:41:31 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/winnimere/indexBeckyinVTJury duty sockshttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/jury-duty-socks

<p>Cast on the day before jury duty so I&#8217;d have something on tiny wooden needles for taking into the court house.</p>
<p>I LOVE THIS YARN. I love that the neps are neutral and mix so well with the vibrant colors of the yarn!</p></div>Mon, 15 Aug 2016 16:04:02 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/jury-duty-socks/indexBeckyinVTmy sweetnesshttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/saccharum-2

Happy to have a new vest, hoping the weather cools off enough to take good pictures soon.</p>
<p>5/7: worked on this on and off throughout April. Turns out gray knitting isn&#8217;t any better when the spring is still gray. Finally did the arm trim this weekend, but totally screwed up the stitch to row count and need to re-work it.</p>
<p>3/4: have finished the garter hem and am working on the ribbed portion already!</p>
<p>So excited to finally knit one of these in my own size! I have <em>just</em> under 4 skeins of this yarn. Should be plenty for the 35&#8221; size. Also, my gauge in Bartlett tends to be a little lower than in Imperial, so the final garment may be a touch bigger than 35&#8221; anyway. <br />Originally I was going to aim for the 39&#8221; size thinking that would add an extra tree to the back, but the addition tree comes in at the 43&#8221; size and that&#8217;s just too big for me.</p></div>Tue, 18 Oct 2016 20:44:39 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/saccharum-2/indexBeckyinVTwine mittshttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/wine-mitts

I love it, but it&#8217;s so deep and rich that the camera over-saturates and it&#8217;s hard to capture.</p>
<p>I probably finished knitting the second mitt back in March. But somehow I didn&#8217;t weave in the ends for 5 months&#8230; I wonder how long it&#8217;ll take to get real photos uploaded?</p></div>Fri, 19 Aug 2016 01:38:28 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/wine-mitts/indexBeckyinVTbunny hathttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/bunny-hat

And honestly negative ease at the bust is kinda the right place for it anyway.</p>
<p>Casting on for a seed stitch and lace vest, plan to make it with a button (or DPN) closure at the underbust and cap sleeves. Also planning to use just the one skein, because that&#8217;s all I have!</p></div>Thu, 01 Sep 2016 12:25:23 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/morning-walk/indexBeckyinVTicord mittenshttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/icord-mittens

Daycare seems happy enough to use woolen mittens, but simply asked for a second pair so she can have dry mittens if they go outside a second time. Seems reasonable to me!</p>
<p>The icord ends in loops so which go over the velcro tabs that hold her sleeves closed, that way they should be easy to swap.</p></div>Tue, 19 Jan 2016 15:11:31 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/icord-mittens/indexBeckyinVTLittle Duckyhttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/BeckyinVT/puddle-duck
